We are delighted to welcome you to Fabiana, the new FWN magazine, an arena where the power and potential of women can be heard and showcased, and as a platform for policy analysis, comment and debate.

The first issue is filled with a combination of feminist voices – from Labour Party veterans to those they have inspired who are just setting out in their careers. They all share the conviction that progress for women is inextricably linked to progress for all in society, but come at it from diverse backgrounds and angles. Launched one hundred years after the first International Women’s Day, Fabiana has a UK focus but a very international outlook, looking at the contributions of women from London to Libya and Liberia.

Harriet Harman reveals some of what she will tell her own party at the Labour Party Conference. Authors including Sadiq Khan, Giovanni Allegretti and Rushanara Ali write about a wide range of urgent issues, from shrinking legal aid to participatory budgets and women in peace processes.

In an exclusive interview, Maurice Glasman goes several uncomfortable rounds with the Editor in defence of his often controversial vision of Blue Labour.

We would be very grateful if you could give Fabiana a warm welcome. The magazine is open to all who want to debate politics and innovate policies, whatever walk of life in politics, business, the public sector or civil society.
